Girls thank you so much for the warm congrats

Happy Bunny I think you very well may be feeling the baby already...I know what they say but with my son I felt him move by about 14/15 weeks and no one believed me but it was that same sensation all throughout pregnancy the movement just got stronger later.

Mellow you will not believe it but on Christmas eve my brother and sister in law announced that they are pregnant and we found out that my SIL and I are only 3 days apart so since we are both not drinking and feeling a bit off being pregnant and all we will be spending a quiet New Years eve with them. What about you? and everyone else?

Mellow: resting is definitely key. We decided to take our children to an indoor water park the day after Christmas for an overnight trip. I of course got to sit and watch but did alot of walking as our room was almost the farthest from the elevator, of course. So the day after we get home another major bleed. Can't wait to check on it with the ultrasound next week to see if it's going away. It seems to be so much more common with twins.
Are your twins identical?

Barbara: I've been feeling movement for over a week now and some pretty hard kicks to go along with it. One of the babies keeps kicking me in the liver, lol. Having had 3 other pregnancies I definitely know the difference. It is so amazing not only watching my belly grow(and boy is it growing) but feeling them moving every day too.

We are staying home tomorrow night and just having some family time. Hopefully I will be able to stay awake until midnight

Ryann & Annashope - WOW!!! What wonderful news and pictures from both of you yesterday. I'm so happy you both got to hear heartbeats yesterday, what a wonderful sound!!

To everyone on our thread, Happy New Year a few hours early!!! 2011 is going to be a great year for all of us as we meet our little ones. I still can't believe it's happening for us. I'm up visiting my family at my parent's farm (my original trip up was postponed from earlier in the week with the snow storm) while DH is home. He was on call for work so couldn't join me. So it will be a quiet one here, I'll probably be in bed by 9.

Gina~ We don't know yet if they are identical or not...we think probably not. But we can't tell for sure at this point. When did you find out your were identical? They are in separate sacs, and appear to have different placentas, but the RE did say that the bleed looks to be behind both sacs, it's hard to say at this point. The screen has been so mudded up with the bleed, it causes us to not see things as well as we have hoped. Sorry you had another bleed...every time I am up walking more than normal, I get a pretty big gush later that day or the next day too. No good! Can't wait until it's gone.


I pray we all have a happy and blessed New Year! Have a good one!

Mellow: We found out at 7 weeks, they are sharing a placenta and at this point they think there is a membrane separating them but they're not 100% sure. I can't wait for it to be gone as well. Over a month of this is just too much. Hope you are feeling better soon!

Happy New Year to everyone here! Its going to be a wonderful year full of blessings for each of us

Last day of meds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooohoooo! 10 weeks tomorrow!

Hope you girls have a fabulous 2011, we will all be holding our babies in 2011!

AFM~ My butt is becoming one with this couch...and I'm sick of it. So far though, laying low is keeping me from having active bleeding. So I will obey the rules, and stay on my butt as long as it takes.

What is everyone doing to celebrate New Years?

Hey Mello! You just keep your butt on that couch and let your body heal and your babies grow. You're working hard even though you're doing nothing at all - you don't get to that very often. LOL

I agree with the video games... or watch a series you've been interested in... make lists of to-do for baby arrival.. for instance.. I am starting to put together a list of music that I want for the birthing room!

As for the new year, I am keeping my butt firmly planted in my husband's easy chair and relaxing. Doing a nice dinner for everyone tomorrow night, however!

Mellow - did you tell the kids?

I have been feeling dizzy and just really off this week, hard to get anything done around the house. A bit of nausea that lasts all day. I am hoping that this will pass in a couple of weeks, we will be 10 weeks tomorrow. Did everyone feel really off and crummy all around?

[mellow4]

We told the kids Monday night. It was going to be too difficult to hide with a pot belly and a Mama that lays around all day doing nothin. They were excited!

As far as feeling crummy....Yes, crummy and dizzy all day long. Just over all bleh. All for a happy little bundle. So very worth it.

Happy New Year!

Yup, I feel crappy most of the time. Finally, I just decided to let things go and get them done when I could. Also, I asked hubby for help doing dishes and what not. When you feel bad, rest - it's what your body needs. The good news is that it should pass in the 2nd trimester.

Happy New Year, Ladies!!

I've updated page one with all the info I have... did I miss anyone???

[easley4]

Hi Ladies! Just wanted to say thanks so much for all the warm welcomes! It's so great to have a place to go to talk to women who understand all of my fears and happiness.

I have a couple of questions for the ladies expecting twins, this is my 3rd pregnancy and I feel like it's not at all like my other two. First off I'm only 6wks and I've already gone up a whole bra cup size and my boobs hurt SO bad . I had some tenderness with my other 2 children but nothing like this. Also, I haven't gained any weight but I already feel uncomfortable in my jeans. I was able to wear regular jeans until 10-12 weeks with my girls. I'm also really nervous about having twins. I'm so excited and feel totally blessed but when I start thinking about how you do all the normal daily things with 2 little babies I start freaking out. Anyone else nervous?

We have our next U/S tomorrow afternoon so can't wait for that! Shouldn't we be able to see the heartbeats? I'll be 6wks2d.
Sending prayers to all! Oh, and Happy New Year!!!!!!
